NUEUS JAHR TAG TAUFE

On New Years Day we held OUR first baptism ( we had one in Dresden just before we left) for the Magdeburg Branch. The Sisters were out finding (speaking to people on the street) and met Sven Boenig at a Bahn stop. He was "golden" from the beginning. A little over three weeks later we were on our way to Kuethen for his baptism. It was an hour train ride and a forty five minute walk in very cold weather to this little church which is the closest baptismal font to Magdeburg. There were twelve members in our traveling party and five more drove in cars.

We were privileged to be included in many of his lessons.

Our District Leader, Elder Orton, baptized him.

We carried food with us to fix for after the event. Isabella was the last one to be baptized from Magdeburg just before we came. We love Elder Wittwer.


Sister Wells and Elder Orton are showing their stress with their red faces. They have something in common.
